[Dr. Eckleburg]

We agree about the main thing which is Christ died, was buried and rose again for our salvation that God gifts to us by grace through faith - you know, the GOSPEL.

LOLOL.

Sometimes the writing here is so well-written you can actually hear the inflection of the words.

"You know (pause) the GOSPEL.

Sadly, many FRoman Catholics have given us plenty of evidence they do NOT "know the Gospel." When asked, they recite the first four books of the New Testament, and leave it at that, seemingly unaware Christ referenced and preached "the Gospel," and therefore He actually spoke about an idea, a situation, a reality, a truth that seems to escape RC apologists and which they clearly cannot articulate.

More's the pity.

As I was perusing the letter that Peter wrote, I found this....

Sounds pretty Calvinist to me.....

1 Peter 1

1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who are elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:

May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

When I was a Roman Catholic, I thought the "good news" was having the mass be over in 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes. ;)

This caught my eye too!

Actually I think you are being kind with the qualifier "many". I have yet to encounter a RC on FR that knows it. It's understandable, if RC's learned and believed The Gospel the power of their hierarchy falls away. Their church is no longer the conduit for their salvation.
